Seoul City, 9th Urban Planning Committee on the 17th

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] A research building of KIST located within the natural landscape district in Seongbuk-gu will be allowed to increase its height from the existing 3 floors to 4 floors due to height relaxation. Korea Polytechnic University Jeongsu Campus in Bogwang-dong, Yongsan-gu plans to construct a new engineering building and gymnasium by the first half of next year.

On the 18th, Seoul City held the '9th Urban Planning Committee' meeting the previous day and announced that it approved the urban management plan (urban planning facility) decision and the height relaxation plan for buildings within the natural landscape district requested by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) as originally proposed.

Through this review, the height of a research building (PP-1) within the natural landscape district can now be built up to 4 floors (12m) or less.

The site is a research facility with an area of 130,606㎡ located at 39-1, Hawolgok-dong, Seongbuk-gu. Since it is within the natural landscape district, the height of the research building was restricted to 3 floors (12m) or less, but with the previous review, the height of five research buildings was relaxed and they can be constructed up to 7 floors (28m) or less.
